But Moses said to the LORD, “Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
Exodus 6:30 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, I have so many insecurities. Yes, folks see how I project myself on the outside and they automatically assume I have all the confidence in the world. Yet, You know and see how I truly feel on the inside, how I often walk around with true “imposter syndrome,” acting the part but all along wondering will someone see past the façade…
Like Moses I ask You why would anyone listen to me? And like Moses I hold fast to Your promises to uphold me and infuse me with whatever I need in the moment in order to accomplish Your purposes for my life. You may not have purposed me to be a great prophet like Moses, a great priest like Melchizedek, or great king like David, but You have declared that I am chosen, holy and royal (1 Peter 2:9). You have also encouraged me not to be concerned about what I need to say but that You would give me the words when I need them (Luke 12:11-12). And I hold fast to the promise that it is You at work in me both to desire and do what You purpose that should be done in me and through me (Philippians 2:13).
So today, as I close out this work week and step into the weekend, I pray for courage, boldness and confidence. I pray that You would overshadow my weaknesses with Your grace, overcome my insecurities with Your peace, and overpower my faltering with faith. Move in me and through me that I might not be overwhelmed and focused on where I come up short but instead be awed and smitten on how great Thou art! For indeed, I can do all things through You, my Savior, Who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)! Use me as You see fit, Lord Jesus. I am Yours. Amen.
